This was an unsuccessful design attempt to circumvent the lack of interrupter gear. It’s not hard to imagine why this was the only one aircraft built!
















Thanks for looking in!

Crikey. That looks … vulnerable. And I thought the SPAD SA was crazy.

Tim,

Seriously, are you raiding my cupboard?  Just kidding.  Seems like everything you've been posting lately are ones I have and want to build.  Very nice work on an unusually small subject.

Nice job. I'm surprised they built even just one.
Thanks,

Lovely model of a particularly weird aircraft. You've done a great job and introduced me something completely different.

WOW! Amazing work on this one. I mentioned trying to catch up on commenting. With your posts I think I will look at them all and you can assume My comments would be something like Brilliantly done, Beautiful, etc.

Not sure how I missed this! Superb model of a rare type - one to add to my scratch build list. First class finish and rigging.
